In this Episode, we welcome Randy Hetrick.
Randy Hetrick, a former Navy Seals Special Operations Commander retired after 14.5 years of service to seek the challenge of graduating with his MBA from Stanford, where he then formulated his business plan to launch what we know today as TRX.
I love training with a TRX, I love learning from leadership cues within our Military, and from the creativity behind entrepreneurial stories. Randy shares his story regarding all three topics in our time together today. His grace and grit shines in our podcast and I assure you this episode is a must listen if you want to learn more about how to manage momentum during adversity stricken times, about how humility breeds a beginner's mind, and why Randy's relationship with challenge continues to evolve.
